Numarine, the Turkish sport motor yacht builder founded only in 2002 attracted a lot of attention worldwide with its daring creation - the 78 HT (Hard Top) that was officially presented in Bodrum in July 2009. The yacht's design inspired by reptiles and creatures that once ruled the waters is work of the Numarine designer Can Yalman and Italian luxury yacht designer Tommaso Spadolini who have created a "beast" which is everything but just an another power boat. Thus the arrival of Numarine 78 HT is considered a revolutionary change in the yachting world by many leading experts. The 78 HT is not a family-style cruiser yacht neither a yacht to show off with. The 78 HT distinguishes itself from all other power yachts at the very first sight with its truly unique and colourful design, and a hull that resembles a reptile or alligator rather than any other sport boat on the market. The outstanding design is major step forward from the traditional overall elegant look the yachting world is used to. The 78 HT appears aggressive and is as aggressive as it looks. It is a high-performance ship designed to provide ultimate satisfaction to nonconformist owners but the designers did not sacrifice space nor functionality. The 78 feet (24 meters) long and 19 feet (5,8 meters) wide boat can accommodate 8 people and two full time crew. The lower deck layout is a classic four cabin plan with spacious master and VIP suites, and two single bed guest cabins. The cabins feature all the required amenities and private bathrooms including the crew cabin which is separated from owner's and guests cabins providing ultimate privacy to the owner and his guests. The cockpit is quite spacious as well and the main living area is large enough for all present aboard. Like all other 78 feet yachts, the 78 HT features large sunbathing area on the fore deck and a spacious aft. Thus the ship does not only impress with its truly unique design and power but with extraordinary comfort and functionality of the traditional sport yachts. The 78 HT is powered either by twin MAN V-12 engines with 1224 HP each or twin MAN V-12 1550 HP engines reaching maximum speed up to 38 knots and cruising speed of 28 knots. The yacht has fuel capacity of 1,100 gallons (5,000 litres) and fresh water capacity of 198 gallons (900 litres).

MJM 29Z
The MJM 29Z Downeast is not only known for its power but also for its fuel efficiency. Its fuel mileage and performance is unmatched by any other power boat in this category. The MJM 29z Downeast is considered as the “greenest” or the most ecologically friendly powerboat in its league. To match the performance of this boat many companies have tried to imitate its technology, equipments, manufacturing methods etc. but none of them have succeeded in manufacturing a yacht that can outrun MJM 29z Downeast. This powerful yacht is supreme in the 29-33 foot category.
Using this ship you can easily save at least 50 per cent of the fuel, than by using any other boat which falls in the same category. This powerful yacht can be truly called a “revolutionary boat” because of its effective fuel saving mechanism.
It was sailors who motivated and influenced MJM’s “green” initiative. After all, there is nothing more fuel efficient than wind energy. The co- founder of J Boats Inc., which is the world’s leading brand of sailboats, created MJM keeping a similar goal in mind. He came in touch with Doug Zurm, who was a well known designer of powerful speedboats to develop the brand MJM. Soon, Mark Lindsay who is also a well known master builder of boats entered into the venture to create one of the most fuel efficient and powerful boats on earth. The combination of great skills, dedications and commitment of these people gave the world its best 29 foot power yacht- the MJM 229z Downeast.
The main reason behind this power yacht being highly efficient is that it is made up of epoxy-Kevlar-Eglass laminate, which is over curved and vacuum bagged. This is what makes the ship lighter and stronger. The modified and low-drag -"V" planning hull has replaced the conventional downeast configuration. This implies that the boat will require very less power for overcoming any sort of resistance. With the help of just four cylinders and 260 horsepower diesel, this power yacht is able to achieve 32 knot top-end performance. Due to the small size of the engine, more people can sit in its cockpit. The boat offers protective seating for ten people and overnight accommodation for five, for two in the cabin and three under the cover of cockpit and pilothouse. This is true value for money. Not only it’s cheaper than other boats in this category, but also its running or operation cost is less because of its high mileage.
